		<description><![CDATA[Well, I survived. Just. My toes didn’t fall off and despite the pain from 16 miles on I was able to function fairly normally afterwards. Of course it was slow (I told you it would be) and, yes, I was passed by a number of people in full rhino costumes.  My preparation can euphemistically be described as being a little underdone so, all in all, it’s a bit of relief to be sitting here with just a few aches and pains and a bit of sunburn to show for me efforts.

		<description><![CDATA[I think in my last blog I listed a number of reasons why I was going to run the marathon for refugee action (by the way I think the gag with inverted commas around the word “run” is wearing thin but just assume that they’re always there and that I am never using the word in its true sense). Now, with almost just a few weeks to go, and all I can think of is the reasons why not to.

The question is – “Why run a marathon, at all?” Let’s be clear, I am not one of nature’s [...]]]></description>

Flooded with heavy emotion, my heart builds a steady momentum of grief yet I have lost no close one, suddenly it has come time to reap the rewards of unrelenting torment.

		<description><![CDATA[Refugee Week is all about celebrating the contribution refugees make to the UK and honouring their personal stories of survival. Often the events organised to mark the week showcase individual talents and skills that are already well-known and much-lauded – like the performers on the main stage at London’s Celebrating Sanctuary for example. But Refugee [...]]]></description>
